Pre-flight weight and balance calculations

Slightly off topic of the original question, but can someone provide some typical weight and balance and performance figures for a Cessna 152 with 2 persons on board and full fuel based on a one hour flight?

Beside fuel usage, what other factors cause centre of gravity to change during flight?

What method has been used to identify the centre of gravity limits for say the Cessna 152 at the certification stage. What I mean is where do the forward and aft limits come from and how do these relate to weight?

Back to the original poster's question - is there any value in doing calculations in flight in the context of SEP's and does it actually happen on commercial flights?
